Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / Carl Gustav Jung has devoted specific attention to religion and the Christian Eucharist. The individuation process is central to his system and he identifies the Eucharist as a rite of individuation. The dissertation investigates the theories of analytical psychology pertaining to this sacrament. Comparisons are made between Christian and non-Christian sacramental rites as a means of clarification and illustration. An essay written by a counselee after termination of a therapeutic relationship with a pastor is presented to illustrate how individuation may function in the Eucharist and to give a basis for a critique of Jung's theories. Jung holds that religion as a deeply rooted phenomenon of human psychic life is founded in the collective unconscious and is archetypal in nature; the archetypes are symbolized when they manifest themselves to consciousness. When the self archetype which is very similar to the God archetype becomes more highly differentiated and synthesizes other archetypes around itself a person experiences individuation which is a natural process tending toward union of personality. The change from a segmented to a unified psyche is effected via the process of transformation. The Eucharist is seen as a general therapeutic system which leads toward individuation [TRUNCATED]

While the advent of modern technologies has increased our understanding of the physicality of prehistoric artefacts for instance their place and method of manufacture and has helped to establish more precise chronologies, the actual meanings tend to elude us. It is in this connection that the insights derived from the work of C. G, Jung could help to shed light on the significance of some of these objects and the practices with which they are associated. One worthwhile line of enquiry entails a more personal approach based on some psychological perspectives from the work of C.G. Jung. It was Jung who emphasised that the scientific rationalist perspective of modernity is just another paradigm and by no means the only way of understanding the world. Another of his important insights was to search for meaning in all human behaviour no matter how bizarre or senseless it might appear. As well as being a modern discipline, Jung’s work can I believe be extrapolated back to the past as he himself stated that some of his insights could be usefully applied to past objects and situations (Jung 1986:5).The problems involved in attempting an analysis of meaning from a period from which no literary evidence survives was one rejected as impossible, (Renfrew & Zubrow 2000) but this problem can be redressed by the application of Jung’s collective unconscious a concept concerned with recurrent patterns in human behaviour. In his view, studies based on an isolated individual are inadequate. Moreover, with regard to the Neolithic period where no written records are extant, it is virtually impossible to reconstruct such detailed information at this level. The following quotation underlines the importance Jung attached to this interpretation:-“Therapy stands or falls with the question. “What sort of world does our patient come from and to what sort of world does he have to adapt? The world is a supra-personal fact, which only deals with the personal element in man. Man is also a part of the world, inextricably involved, he carried the world in himself, something at the same time, impersonal and supra-personal (Jung 1946:30).
